Ecliptic opened October 2013. Owned by John Harris. John’s vision is a destination restaurant and brewery. His goal is to push the limits of creativity in the brewhouse, and create a sense of place in both the restaurant and the beer he builds. John’s background is one steeped in Oregon’s rich history in craft brewing. He spent his first two years, from 1986-1988, as a brewer at McMenamins’ breweries; his next four were at Deschutes, where he created the recipes for Mirror Pond, Black Butte Porter and Obsidian Stout; and John spent the next 20 years of his illustrious career as a brewmaster at Full Sail. He is now starting the next chapter with the creation of Ecliptic Brewing.
